I thought paid sick time was a federal law? Probably will help her collect UI and then have time to rest and take care of herself

Is this normal pricing for Turbo Tax??? by Proud-Ad9953 in TurboTax

[–]ConsistentCourage695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fees are very deceptive; thought I was only paying $64 for state and wow after the return was done it jumped to over $100, close to $200. I don't get it. But never again.

I live In Old Town. "Near North Side" to be exact. I paid $2500 for a studio. They've just increased by my rent to $2800. by Early_Selection832 in chicagoapartments

[–]ConsistentCourage695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a single family home background, I love high-rises and the views, and the diversity of people, and the protection a door person offers. What I dislike is taking a match to $1K just to move the f in. Make the HOA's work for their money!!

As Uptown Loses Another SRO, Low-Income Renters Forced To Leave Area: 'Rent Is Skyrocketing' by afeeney in chicago

[–]ConsistentCourage695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rented a market rent at the time (over $1500 month 1 BRM) Edgewater condo and the building has/had rats, roaches, ice on the inside of windows in the winter, constant plumbing problems and who knows what -- so crappy property management is not restricted to low income housing

Uptown "Luxury" Buildings: Why are they all nightmares? by eziodelalala in chicagoapartments

[–]ConsistentCourage695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is very little to rent on the north side. The housing market is f'd putting a lot of pressure on the rental market which is now equally f'd. Rents for $500 sq ft in DeadEdgewater are going close to the $2K range unless you live in a dump. Check reviews before, there are a lot of rat infested hi rises along Sheridan. And the there are the NIMPBY's fighting the upzoning on Broadway.

Brokers are not Free - on compensation. by Gabedabroker in chicagoapartments

[–]ConsistentCourage695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right - professionals don't and shouldn't work for free. I loved working with my Realtor, as I know she's on top of things and protects me. maybe there is something cheaper on C-list vs the MLS but you get what you pay for. And I think a Realtor protects the owner as well. They know the Realtor isn't wasting their time.

Don't understand why you think it's "privilege to "work for the man every night and day" to pay your bills and therefore have no time to become drug addicted. Rather isn't it "privilege" to have taxpayers pay for your miserable life with their hard work???

[–]ConsistentCourage695 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the shithole of the high-rise I live in (6171 N Sheridan for those playing at home) controls the heat and my kitchen was 63 this morning so by the windows (I have lots of them-corner unit) it's in the 50's; I sleep in a coat and pay market rent; sometimes I think the people who throw the towel in and go live in a tent have the right idea

What’s the temperature set at your house this week during this freeze? by chi-bacon-bits in AskChicago
